Or near totality. I think I get 99.5% from my office. Traffic was
supposed to be horrible this morning with last-minute gawkers heading
south to total totality, but there was nobody on the road. It was
great.

I'm going to go look at the sun and go blind because that's what they
say you should do. I have the special glasses, but they don't look
good on me.


We used the electric welding visor but the eclipse was less than
impressive east of Sacramento. The TV is still running a big rah-rah
show about it. Oh well.

I guess the eclipse glasses scalper price ($250 was reported once) will
now drop to $0.10 or so.
